Why the hell is Solo Leveling being propped up like it’s a flagship shonen of this gen?
That spot should be Dandadan or CSM, not this.

>>281483753 (OP)
Solo Leveling is peak aura hype
Dandadan is cuckshit and the CSM anime fumbled.

>>281483753 (OP)
For me Sol Leveling is Isekai slop, not even shonen

>>281483753 (OP)
Doesn't the Korean government literally pays people to shill their shit? I know that was a thing with Kpop and Kdramas.
I guess it also has to do with the fact that crunchyroll is a producer or skmething, so they also shill the fuck out of it.

>>281483753 (OP)
solo leveling has no fanservice nor politics which is why it is being propped up as the ideal anime, same with frieren

>>281483817
CSM’s coming back with the new movie.
She will save the franchise.
They switched directors, so there’s no way it’ll flop again.

>>281483817
>peak aura hype
Can somebody translate Retard into English for me?

>>281483842
Apparently Crunchyroll’s trying to be like Shonen Jump, so they’re shilling Solo Leveling harder than Jump IP such as OP, JJK, or KnY.

>>281483888
>CSM’s coming back with the new movie.
WHen the fuck is that movie going to be released?

fascinating watching a conversation between absolute dumbfucks who don't know what any of the words they use mean.

Nobody ITT knows what isekai or shounen even means, evidenced by these posts.

>>281484239
People think Lord of the Rings is isekai. Let that sink in for a minute.

>>281483753 (OP)
i prefer Mushoku Tensei
you have you SoL, but also your battle shounen, and meditations on love, loss, friendship, heartbreak
it really is the quintessential anime.

>>281483897
its superficial op mc self insert slop, think Sword art online but korean gook slop

Thank you CSM for giving OF whores a making cosplay and trannies someone to aspire to,what else?

Solo Leveling ROCKS

>>281483753 (OP)
skip and loafer has a tranny in it and it's not for comedic relief so I pass on that

>>281483848
Anon liberals have been fuming at Frieren since the demons showed up in the anime

>>281485598
what does this even mean

>>281485556
No, women aren't allowed to appear

>>281483753 (OP)
Crunchyroll owns the exclusive rights to solo leveling so they go all out promoting it. Nobody knows anything about it anyway

>>281486458
Maybe he means the films?

>>281483753 (OP)
It's a bait picture, they deliberately chose the best shonen and worst slice of life for it

Every character in Solo leveling looks like a big chinned Itagaki character

Redpill me on skip and loafer
I love comfy

>>281483753 (OP)
Grim. I'd take fire force over any of those pictured shonens

>>281483753 (OP)
Kimetsu is also a slice of life

Solo Leveling is the most cringeworthy thing to come from anime since Narutards wearing headbands in the 00s.

we've had this thread so many fuckin times have some maken ki instead

>>281483817
Does Solo leveling have fairy like precure(like Meroron in pic rel)? Do sung jin woo have transformation bank?
>>281492654
>>281492333
Why did Solo leveling's sale flop?
It sold less BD than CSM.
Ave Mujica sold 2.5 times more BD than this.
Why do Japs not buy solo leveling merches and BDs, and made Kakao, aniplex and A-1 suffer loss?
>>281492683
Solo leveling sold less BD than this tho.

>>281492333
Why did solo leveling sell less BDs and Merch than Ave Mujica?

>>281483753 (OP)
It's the opposite for me as I got older
Artsy fartsy "deep" anime? No need for that, just give me brain-off battle shounen. It's a peaceful life.

>>281486009
And it and Kpop demon hunter being so successful and popular in Japan and dominating Japanese anime market lead Anime industry to accept Korean censorship standard, via Sony and aniplex. That's why Ruri rock got fanservice scene censored and will get swimsuit scene removed in ep 7.

>>281485556
Does it have Yuri code, like Lizbeth x Silica? SAO have fairy named Yui. While solo leveling has no fairy(like precure).

>>281483848
But Frieren sold lots of merches, got SH Figurart from Bandai, and had lots of collabs, sold lots of BDs, had lots of memes while Solo leveling's merch/BD sale was shit, no Toys from bandai, no collab with amusement or restaurant.
Why did Solo leveling's sale flop if it dominates Japanese anime market? For Korean webtoons being censored garbage as default??

>>281483753 (OP)
It's just being astroturfed, that's all there is to it. Same deal with what happened to Oshi no Ko "coming out of nowhere". Also Solo Leveling isn't even shounen, it's more of an isekai hand-me-down. Lurk moar.

>>281483753 (OP)
Didn't like SoL 2 decades ago and nothing's changed.

>>281493615
Does solo leveling have fairies like pic rel?

>>281492683
Solo leveling sold less BD than this, and merch sale are even worse. At least CSM had collab with USJ, and sold lots of merches, had lots of collabs, including Nikke.

>>281483753 (OP)
Blame the covid “”“anime fans””” cattle

>>281493476
>Why did Solo leveling's sale flop?
Maybe it clicked with Japan that their nation got completely cucked in the SL universe

>>281494497
kek I do find it funny how often korean webtoons/manhwas mention japan getting fucked over whereas korea is rarely if ever mentioned in manga/anime at all

Solo Leveling is BARELY watchable, Dandadan is only bearable by low-IQs zooms. In this cripple fight, SL is just a half-step above.

>>281493615
>solo leveling
>oshi no ko
>came out of nowhere
Leave normalfag. You've clearly no clue what you are talking about.

BTW if you even consume KR content there will ALWAYS be at least some narrative dedicated to making Japan look bad. The story can have nothing whatsoever to do with Japan, but some Japanese characters will be introduced for no other reason than to make them look like weak losers for one scene.

>>281494666
Tha's pretty much the only enjoyable part in more gookslop sadly.

>>281483753 (OP)
>disney star wars meme
>zoomerspeak

>>281494666
I've read a number of manhwas and most of them didn't show hatred towards the Japanese. It seems only low IQ authors resort to that.

>>281494557
>>281494497
How to explain poor Korean sale then? Kakao suffered loss too.

>>281494666
Why did its sale flop in Korea too? Due to Korea being terrible at media mixing?

>>281483753 (OP)
Did anyone find it memorable? Like, there are no doujins or merchandise except that one gacha, are there?
It's weird how little of a cultural imprint it made. The buzz died away less than a few months after the series ended.

>>281495238
And any manhwa with bikini scene? Yuri seems to be NG in Korea too.

>>281494614
Why did Solo leveling's merch, BD sale flop and A-1, Kakao, aniplex suffer loss? Does Westerners not buy merches and toys(does solo leveling have toy?)?

>>281494666
And why does maplestory lack Japanese classes, while Most "Asian" classes are Korean styled, like Eunwol(Shade), Hoyoung, Lara and Len? DFO has Japanese styled classes like Spectre, Ghost blade, Hitman and Kunoichi.

>>281483753 (OP)
Amerimutts pushing their astroturfing because they dont like that japan is dominating the shit out of their entertainment aimed at the young generation

>>281483753 (OP)
>Why the hell is Solo Leveling being propped up like it’s a flagship shonen of this gen?
Have you considered that it might actually BE popular?
It's certainly not entirely natural in its popularity, but it's fucking easy to consume, has high production value animation, and isn't very long. It's perfect for low investment normies with plenty of free time, and a gateway into other shounen power-tripping isekai series.
Dandadan fits a lot of that as well, but lacks the novelty of what Solo Leveling offers, it's just straight shounen with good animation.
CSM is pretentious as fuck, it's a series for seasoned shounen/seinen watchers who need to spice things up, coupled with a myriad of other peculiarities, it's not for mass appeal.

I remember liking Solo Leveling when I read it the first time, but looking back I can barely remember anything about it.

>>281497007
But why did solo leveling's sale flop if it is so "popular" in Japan?

>>281491238
The romcom genre has been so bad for a while now so people are hyping up Skip to Loafer because it reminds them of Kimi ni Todoke.

>>281483753 (OP)
I couldn't take Solo Leveling seriously. It has aura, hunters, a hunters association and even a mutant ant arc but it's all soulless gook shit.

>>281497007
Why did its sale flop if it is so "popular"? It's merch and BD sale was shit and Mujica sold 2.5 times more than Solo leveling. It lacks collab and toys from bandai. Is merch, toy, collab sale irrelevant in anime market?
A-1,Kakao, Aniplex suffered loss when it is "popular" and "successful"? Fuck off. How can solo leveling make money if it cannot sell merches and bandai doesn't release Solo leveling toys and plamo?

>>281496822
And Sony is trying to spread Korean censorship standard on Japanese anime, and that's why ruri rock got censored to not make Korean feminist overlord mad, and ruri rock won't have swimsuit ep.
Why is sony trying to use Korean stuff like solo leveling and KDH to spread their censorship to Japanese anime?

>>281497007
And solo leveling and KDH being successful and popular in Japan and Korea dominating Japanese anime market lead anime industry to comply on Korean censorship standard via sony and aniplex. That's why Ruri rock got fanservice scenes censored. To please Korean feminist overlords.

The answer is simple, I know it sounds esoteric or political, but it's not; Solo leveling has a "masculine" energy
The other shows have a beta cuck gay energy
Believe it or not, some people still want these badass male characters, no matter how much anti-male propaganda we consume every day
Kids still like badass male characters, and women too love cool dudes

>>281497849
I dislike Solo Leveling but I agree in spirit and I think that had I read the manhwa when I was 12 or so I would've loved it.

>>281497849
Then why does Gojo Satoru have more fanart than him if Sung jin Woo is so popular? Why did Solo leveling's sale flop while JJK sells well?
>>281497849
Korea is where masculinity is neutered by feminists ironically. No contents enjoyable for male in Korea. While Japan has lots of contents enjoyable for male. Korean webtoons are censored shit, right? You are trying to spread Korean censorship standard to Japanese anime. Ruri rock got hit by this due to aniplex,

I dont think that many people really watched solo leveling. I think it's astroturf.

>>281498275
Yeah. Solo leveling's sale is shit while JJK sold well. Sung jin Woo will never be another Gojo Satoru. Who is mediocre but super chad.

Kill yourself bikinischizo.

>>281497883
>>281497849
But why does solo leveling have less fanart than Gojo Satoru?

>>281486088
A crossdresser, and the first thing out of his mouth is that he's not a tranny.
Decent attempt.

>>281497200
Does solo leveling have their own fairies like precure?

>>281497200
Does solo leveling have their own character songs?

Solo Leveling might be bad but is inoffensive, Dandadan on the other hand is bad and very harmful to society.

>>281483753 (OP)
most sol from this nu gen is absolute dogshit
shonens now are also retarded but they haven't changed much if at all
the thing is that sol didn't use to be slop, while shonenshit always was, so sol got worse
seinenchads are eating much better nowadays and even the shojoustacys

Oshi No Ko came from Aka having a recognized name thanks to Kaguya. However Aka is proven to be an awful hack writer. He's only good at the first pitch but then he gets worse as his series plays out.
He's also pretty much done since the japanese don't seem to be tuning in to his newest series knowing his sequence of decent start, degrading middle, shit ending.

>>281486088
Okama =/= tranny though. OHSHC had the same thing

>>281483753 (OP)
what the fuck is Solo Leveling?

>>281483753 (OP)
>Solo Levelling, Dandadan and CSM are flagship shonen
All three of those series are pure westoid pandering slop, none of these are popular in Japan, especially Solo Levelling

>>281483753 (OP)
Because those 2 are not as popular as the fanbase make it out to be (the same goes for gachiakuta and whatever next big thing shonen everyone hypes up) BUT IT FLOP IN JAPAN! Yes and the concept of “the big three” was only a rest of the world thing other wise slam dunk and dragon ball would have taken 2 spots.

>>281501001
why should it being popular on japan matter you dumb weeb. it's one country vs the rest of the planet.

>>281501135
>one country vs the rest of the planet.
Japan is the majority of the audience for every anime and the only one that matters for the people creating it
The idea that westoids are a super important market is pure delusion

Nah, Solo Leveling has that Tryhard beta cuck energy

>>281499926
>Inoffensive
It brings a massive amount of Gookshills here. I'd say that's pretty offensive

>>281495576
It's live Avatar movies

On a side note, Why are Korean fanbase so annoying and obnoxious nowadays? they would literally use any kind of Narrative just to shit on the Japs and shove it in our face just because Jap products are declining but the problem is their products are also declining massively from what they were two decades ago

>>281501682
Tryhard yes, but not really beta cuck. The Japanese are the experts at that.

>>281501793
Jin woo and 99% of Webtoon protags are still radiating a beta cuck energy

>>281501759
listen I know this is the anime board but we don't need to suck jap cock before clicking the submit button every time we post, you know that right?

>>281501805
People here shit on the Japs all the time. Still won't change the fact that Gookfaggots are obnoxious as fuck

>>281501805
I won't care about their insecurity if they and their shill army didn't constantly bring it up and shill their shitty products on this fucking place like an annoying demented younger brother with massive inferiority complex.

>>281501222
Cuz Western audiences(Jeets mostly) don't buy merches and toys. See solo leveling selling less BD than CSM, while Ave Mujica sold 2.5 times more BD than this.
>>281501726
Which Avatar? Last airbender or Blue alien?
>>281501222
Westerners don't buy merches. Mostly Korean and Japanese buy merches. And Chinks scalp them. That's why solo leveling suffered loss in sale.

>>281501001
Why is Solo leveling anime not so popular in Korea either?

>>281501809
>Shit on everyone else including the Japs
>Recommend good Manhwa back in the late 2000's
>Gooks keep shitting up the board with their modern slop (as if we didn't have enough modern slop on our catalogue)
>Gooks killed Tachiyomi
I'm just going to say that you /a/ is technically allowed to shit on Gooks

>>281501035
Solo leveling flopped in Japan, and Korea(why?) tho. Are Koreans not nationalistic enough recently?

>>281484214
Next month

>>281493490
Because Indians can't afford either

It doesn't need to be popular in Japan to sell well, there's at least 20 million weebs in America to sell to, and that's not including other country's markets either. Selling the streaming rights are something that isn't tracked afaik.
>>281497281
>when it is "popular" and "successful"
Don't put words in my mouth, nigger. I never said it was successful, I said it was popular and the previous part of my post is only offering a potential explanation, not to be taken as gospel.
I suspect you're too young to remember but back in the 90s and 2000s when TV was still a thing, there was the same selection of about 50 movies that were always playing on some random channel, it's because the cost associated with the rights to play the movie were either so low it was affordable, or it was
completely free, lacking any restrictions whatsoever (essentially being public domain).

>Korean webtoon companies, which entered overseas markets seeing growth potential, are closing their businesses one after another due to lower-than-expected revenues. In particular, illegal distribution is analyzed to have hindered Korean webtoon companies. According to the “2024 Survey on Overseas Korean Wave Content Infringement” report by the Korea Copyright Protection Agency, 71.6% of the replicated content posted on illegal distribution sites overseas last year was webtoons. The damage caused by illegal webtoons amounts to hundreds of billions of won, with the damage in 2023 reaching 446.5 billion won. At the same time, in markets such as Europe, where print culture still dominates, Korean webtoon companies are struggling to gain traction.

The sales is so great they need to shutdown their servers all over the world lol
